Holy shit, Johnny D! What a great cd!!!! I took your advice and picked this up today. (For $3.99 I might add! That's cheaper than a damn magazine...) anyway it is my idea of PERFECT metal. Great sounding guitars...great riffs, orchestration everywhere...I don't think the lyrics are too cheezy, as a couple others have said. It's perfect to me. A+++ I love it. Haven't heard metal this good since Swine got me into King Diamond! FREAKING AWESOME!! I just think it SLAYS! I want more EDGUY. I can't believe anyone called them "Edgay". I mean, what MORE could you want in a metal song? It's all here.

When a band puts out an E.P. between records, it’s usually a mixed bag of material that wasn’t up to snuff. Edguy’s "King of Fools" is no exception, it features the title track which will be on their upcoming record "Hellfire Club." This E.P. could hurt the band’s chances of any potential sales. Two of the three tracks are keepers & the other three throw aways, that you could probably listen to once & hope to never hear again. Clearly, the strongest track on this E.P. is the title track followed by a non lp track titled "Holy Water." I’m not clear on how a band with above average musicianship & the ability arrange some catchy power metal, would not seek guidance in the lyrical department?

This band is on the verge of something big, but if the lyrical content on this E.P. is any indication of what the next record will be like, I would be concerned. A friend of mine described the band as a cross between Iron Maiden & Halloween. I find his depiction of the band to accurate & I feel the band could be as well known as those bands.

I close with an excerpt from "New Age Messiah," "Pardon Fucking me, who the fucking fuck is Jesus? I’m the motherfucking new messiah for the fucking world."

You get the idea...

First off, I like the band. I don't think they are the best in the genre, but they could be, in time. I will be picking up their new disc & will probably follow your instructions & get their live disc too.

:D Excellent you wont be disapointed in it ..... What did you think of Mandrake?
 
Edguy are an amazing band and I absolutely love this EP. I cannot wait for the new album. Their live album last year was simply awesome and their best album thus far in my opinion was their latest studio release "Mandrake". One of heavy metals best modern day bands.

Everyone go out & buy the new record when it comes out.
Like I said before, this band is on the verge of something big.
After the listen to Mandrake I can't wait for the disc. I hope it blows me away....

I took no offense to it at all Kiddo why would I? your opinion really doesnt matter to me at the moment and from what I have seen of your posting technich its probably not going to .... my primary goal in addressing you was to inform you that we are not a group of assholes that go around making borish remarks for shits we take out metal seriously and we all respect each others different tastes in Heavy Metal Music so if you would refrain from the negative remarks you wont have to read anymore of my bullshit :D
